Submission buttons. eg Clesto, Digg, Del icio us.

Submission Buttons.

By Adrian at Dream It.
Inspired by SecondV, from vBulletin version v3.4.5.

What does it do?
This small template modification adds a button to Clesto, Digg and others, when clicked it will take you to the submission pages on the chosen site,

and it will automatically have the URL loaded on the submission form.

A great way to boost your traffic.

Notes:
Thanks to ShackMaster for the Spurl icon. It has being included in the vBsubmission.zip

Installalation

Download the vBsubmission.zip

Extract it.

Upload all the images to /images/buttons/ on your server.

Everything works but Digg, it's interfering with Zoints SEO, if anyone could come up with a fix that would be great!

[tribedude]

does a silimilar mod exist for vB 3.57? or can this one be used with 3.57 also?

[greyhat]

Can we have an addition for technorati please

I do not see why it wouldn't work.

You can make it yourself. This is my Shoutwire addition from post #43. All you have to do is replace "shoutwire" with technorati and add a gif of your choice to your server. Keep in mind, this is for my "showthread" template so it can show on top of my threads.

<!-- Technorati-->
<a href="http://technorati.com/wtf?new" target="_blank"><img class="inlineimg"  

src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/technorati.gif" alt="WTF?" border="0" />&nbsp;Technorati&nbsp;</a>

Edit: This is the code but hold on, I'm trying to find out how to submit a story on technorati. Does anyone know?
Edit 2: I updated Technorati's submission url. If anyone knows of a different way to submit to Technorati, please let me know.

Reddit needs to be updated to add:

&title=$thread[title]"

To follow right after:

<a href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$post[threadid]

This way you don't have to keep typing in the titles of your submissions.

Installed on www.sitefanatic.com and looking and working great.

Thanks for a great mod.

Just to let everyone know, I just got the owner of actorsandcrew.com sign up on my site and he went on to tell me that one of his programmers found my site through a Technorati submission that I posted last week for one of my threads. He now wants to trade links and trade some ideas as well. I think that if this hack is used properly and effectively, it can really represent some good results for forum owners.

Yes, whoever added the jeqq.gif file to the zip it is not a gif format, it is actually in ICO format. This should be changed. Apparently everyone uses FireFox/Mozilla because this would not show up in Opera or IE.

Anyway here is the gif format of the image, I think the zip need to be redone with this image in gif format not ICO format:

Is there any way to move the icons below the post instead having them under the username ?
